From creating the 854 stereo 3D
VFX shots featured in the award-winning movie “Hugo” to designing
unique architectural spaces to analyzing seismic data to accelerate
exploration of natural reserves, companies around the world rely on Dell
Precision workstations to design and deliver superb results fast.

“Dell Precision workstations are the number one recommendation I've made
to other visual effects professionals over the years. We need
cutting-edge technology and performance while working tough deadlines,”
said Adam Watkins, Computer Graphics Supervisor, Pixomondo. “I
have been delighted -- and sometimes saved -- by every Dell workstation
I've ever used for more than 20 shows! It's one technology that I know I
can consistently count on and I’m looking forward to the new design and
performance of Dell’s new workstations."

Innovative Design with a Purpose

Dell solicited input from hundreds of the top engineering, finance,
software development, scientific, and media & entertainment companies to
design the new chassis. This user feedback and testing drove the
development of a sleek and efficient award-winning design with a
re-organized interior and easier access to important components. The
interior separates areas more commonly accessed by users, such as memory
and hard drives, from more service accessed components, such as wiring
harnesses and fans, thereby simplifying tasks and greatly reducing time
required for service or upgrades. Additional innovations built into the
new workstation family include:

Externally Removable Power Supply - Dell is offering the
industry’s only tool-less externally removable power supply on a
mainstream tower workstation². The power supply is lockable and has a
built-in handle that lights up green when functioning properly which
decreases downtime spent detecting and servicing issues.

Front Accessible Hard Drives - The new efficient chassis design
on the T7600 provides one of the only front accessible quick release
hard drives on a tower workstation. Designed for customers in data
intensive fields like video editing who need to swap out hard drives
easily and military and research organizations who need to store
sensitive data in a secure location at the end of the day, it comes
with up to four 3.5-inch hard drives or eight 2.5-inch hard drives.

Remote Access - The Dell Precision T7600 easily converts to a
rack solution, which can be mounted to any standard Dell PowerEdge
server rack. By centrally locating the workstations, businesses can
help maintain a clean and quiet work environment, keep hardware safe
and give remote workers access via a Dell
Precision FX100 zero client.

Reliable Memory Technology - Another industry first is Reliable
Memory Technology (RMT), a Dell patented code programmed at the BIOS
level that eliminates virtually all memory errors on high-end
workstations. RMT extends the capability of ECC memory by detecting
the location of the corrected memory error and prevents the system
from writing to that spot again following a reboot. Available on the
T3600³, T5600 and T7600, RMT increases the reliability of the
workstations and eliminates the need for extensive full memory tests,
IT support calls and memory DIMM replacement.

This purpose driven innovation really pays off for our workstation
customers. TACKLEBOX Architecture
has relied on Dell Precision workstations to create unique architectural
spaces for fashion and retail businesses since opening its office in
2006. Founder Jeremy Barbour says, "Our design process relies heavily on
3D modeling and by leveraging Dell's powerful workstations we've been
able to reduce our rendering time by 66 percent, from approximately 12
hours to 4 hours, enabling us to focus more energy on our creative work
and deliver better projects on time and on budget."
